[Sam Su <susltd.su@xxxxxxxxx>]

My friend has found a way to enable ping itself, when this problem
happened. But not found why this happen.
sudo echo "1" >
/sys/class/net/br1000/brif/<virtual-interface-name>/hairpin_mode

I file a ticket to report this problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1040255

hopefully someone can find why this happen and solve it.

Thanks,
Sam
